Verdict: BMW vs. Mercedes: which should you buy?
It’s pretty hard to choose between BMW and Mercedes, as both have some seriously impressive models that will cater to many different tastes. The Mercedes lineup is a flashy one, full of slick vehicles that offer impressive engines. The interiors are comfortable and sophisticated, and they score well for safety and reliability too. BMW models also do well, but they do score higher for reliability in most reviews and surveys. They also offer a menacing look that many motorists are a fan of, but that will differ based on personal taste. You might opt for a BMW just for that slight increase in reliability and the performance-focused engines.
